Abstract
A method for selecting a reduced number of model neurons in a neural network includes generating a first sparse set of non-zero decoding vectors. Each of the decoding vector is associated with a synapse between a first neuron layer and a second neuron layer. The method further includes implementing the neural network only with selected model neurons in the first neuron layer associated with the non-zero decoding vectors.
